    Summary

    Ilya picks up on the third ring, breathing heavily into the phone. Shane hears a door slam shut through the device. “Do not yell at me.” 

    Shane stares at the half-empty bottle of vodka on the coffee table. “You suck.”

    “I suck? I scored hat-trick! In your stupid body! I have not eaten in six hours, Hollander. I have not pissed. I have not laid down. I want to go home.” 

    “Rozanov–” 

    “Your mother has called twenty times. Your manager has called thirty times. Your father text me picture of crossword puzzle and ask for help. Clue is about American President from the 1980s. I cannot help!”

    OR: the hollanov bodyswap fic.

    Summary

    Shane is a warrior in the cage. But at home, he’s losing the fight.

    Suddenly a single father to three grieving kids, MMA fighter Shane is drowning in a life he wasn't built for. He’s all iron, tension, and protective instinct—a man holding up a collapsing world until his knuckles bleed. He’s waiting for the moment he finally breaks.

    Then he meets Ilya.

    Stunning, commanding, and impossibly graceful, the Russian gymnastics coach doesn’t see a hero when he looks at Shane. He sees a man who is one heartbeat away from a total collapse.

    Ilya knows that the strongest men are the ones who need to be held the tightest. He doesn’t ask for Shane’s trust; he demands his surrender.

    In the quiet of the gym, away from the screaming toddlers and the ghost of his best friend, Shane discovers a terrifying, addictive truth: The only thing better than being in control... is finally being told to let go.

    An alternative world where Shane is a profesional MMA fighter and the legal guardian of the kids of Hayden because he dies and Ilya is a former gymnastic and coach of one of the Hayden daughters.

    Summary

    Harris hadn’t meant to say anything. He hadn’t even realized what he’d said, honestly, until Ilya’s reaction: choking on his beer, eyes bugging out, looking more nervous than Harris had ever seen him look.

    Why couldn’t he have just kept his mouth shut? He was tipsy, and probably a bit too comfortable, but still. He should have known better. He felt like the biggest asshole alive.

    Hold on. Rewind. Start from the beginning.

    Or:

    Five times Ilya Rozanov set off Harris Drover's gaydar (and Harris said nothing), + one time Harris completely put his foot in it

    Summary

    'This is what happens when the social media manager for the Ottawa Centaurs just finished rewatching the entirety of The Office for the 3rd time'

    “What a fucking nerd,” Ilya laughed, his eyes following Shane across the ice. The camera swung between them before eventually landing back on Ilya.

    “I want to eat him,”

    Luca blinked at him, horror slowly etching onto his face.

    “Like...sexually or...literally?

    Behind the camera, Harris cleared his throat to remind them of his presence. Ilya’s eyes never left Shane, who was still berating Troy by citing some charts from his clipboard.

    “Yes,” 

    Haas looked into the camera in utter fear.
